SAN JOSE (CALIFORNIA) – Ida fa parte di una collezione di conigli d’angora che appartengono a Betty Chu, una professoressa in pensione della San Jose State University in California. Betty Chu è ora impegnata in un tour in tutto il paese in cui mostra i suoi animali.
La pelliccia di questi coniglietti può crescere fino a 10 centimetri. Betty taglia il pelo che cresce di circa un centimetro al mese. La “lana” in eccesso viene utilizzata per fare sciarpe, cappelli e guanti che poi vende su etsy,il sito web dedicato alla vendita on line di prodotti artigianali.
OK, so we didn't do a scientific study or anything, but this Angora rabbit is one of the fluffiest creatures you'll ever see. It's also been bred by humans for its long fur for a really long time. The Angora originates from Turkey and is considered the oldest domesticated rabbit. It became popular with French royalty in the mid-18th century, and first appeared in the U.S. in the early 20th century. They're bred largely for their long wool, which is removed by shearing, combing, or plucking. BETTY CHU
